    oh and 1Z are TDI right? if so the ecu gets the rev counter signal from the alt, then ecu sends a rev counter signal it to the dash :)

    1Z are indeed TDI engines, unlike our client's 1Y IDI engine. :thumbup:

    The TDI engines do have a crank trigger wheel on the crank and and sensor on the block, I wondered if that was used instead of the alternator for the tach trigger. Modern electronic stuff that I have no intrest in. :lol:

    yes sorry that was aimed at danster, as he asked earlier in the thread where the TDI got its signal from. sorry about that should have said
